LOTERIA NACIONAL, lottery scam
Lottery scams are bad, but the scam mails for them could be better. (And then they would be even worse…) Who would ever believe this? I’ve never even bought a Spanish lottery ticket. Yet, something calling itself Loteria Nacional feels it has to inform me that my winnings is depostided but that they don’t really know where to send the mony, or as they put it “your fund is now deposited to your name”.
It’s just another of those scams where the scammer wants me to participate in something shady, and thereby be too guilty to claim charges against them when I find out that I have been ripped off.

Hi! it loooks like I am the first to answer this, but I have just received a letter dated the 20-02-07, with the same spill and details. I contacted the telephone number on the letter and someone responded. This allows me to pass the information to the police, although I don’t think they will do anything about it. What is your experience and advice? I knew straight away it was a scam, because we get regular emails telling us that we have own lottery prizes all the time, but surely this guys should not get away with it, as more vulnerable people might actually fall for it, especially if they have been to Spain on holidays, and bought a lottery ticket there.
I live in Northern Ireland.

It’s really sad, but throughout the years, I haven’t heard of a single case where any police force outside of Nigeria has done anything about this kind of iscams. In the Nigerian case a 419er was sentenced to serve 376 years in jail:

I tried alerting the police about one of the lottery scams that poses as a Swedish lottery (the Nordic SMS Lottery). It’s quite a story, and I will post about it shortly.
In brief, the first problem is for the police to find out if they can even act on a crime committed in Nigeria, with victims in North Africa, even though there is a (forwarded) contact address in Sweden and a Swedish (unlisted and prepaid) phone number.
I had trouble getting past the police officer asking me where the crime was committed, when I answered “on the internet.”
However. This shouldn’t stop you from handing over your mail to the local police. If enough of us do it they will have to find out means to deal with this kind of crime. Unsolved cases doesn’t look good in their statistics.
April 13th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
Hey.
I am so stupid.
Fell for this. Don’t ask me why please it’s already painful enough. What am I exposing myself to? What should I do about this?? I already did all the bank stuff…
April 14th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Emma,
Just don’t send them any money, whatever they say.
If you live somewhere, where banks are reasonably secure, they won’t be able to get access to your accounts just by having a copy of your passport and your accounts, but if you feel insecure about it, ask your local bank office.
Otherwhise. Just ignore them (or send me the e-mails where they start begging you to proceed.
April 19th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
Hahaha… I just got the same e-mail on my desk. I’m from Barcelona so I kindly asked to pick up the prize personally… lol… LOL
Emma… over all… DO NOT ADVANCE ANY PAYMENT! If you already informed about personal details i.e. bank accounts, call to your office, they know how and what to do.
San Pez Ancatara street is unknown to me and no meaning at all… “Saint Fish” hahaha and “Ancatara” is… ewwww… whatever…
08905 belongs to the province but NO Barcelona city.
April 19th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
Great reply there Jerry,
Please tell us if you ever hear anything back from them.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Hey folks,
got the same email last Sunday.
I would have won 315,810.00 Euros at
the Nacional International Promotions
Lottery.
My agent or better robber would be:
MR Raymond Lopez
Foreign Service Manager
Actualidad Financial S.A.
Plaza de Colon
E-28080 Madrid Spain
(From the Desk of the Managing Director
International Promotion/Prize Award Dept)
Tel: +34 656 475 898
Fax: +34 940 464 727
Very , very professional I have to say.
To be honest, a good feeling for a while.
But a lottery never contacts a winner and every legal lottery
is on a list, which you can view on the internet.
No worries Emma !
As a real emotional women you certainly fell for this.
and fortunately a real logical Swedish man
has given you already the advice
to call your bank an tell them what happened to you.
Try to learn from us men if it comes to business Emma:
Control is better as trust in a foreigner !
By the way: Real men never betray a women

Got an exact thing daed 13th July 2007 but its through the post and not email. They have improved. Even use good quality paper for the scam. The things that stopped my spouse and myself is the attached form that looks like its printed freshfrom a low quality printer, the agent’s company name and the advise to keep it top secret. Which lottery draw will keep the winners secret?
Furthermore, the letter’s main page has pictures of the winners but then we were not asked to strike a pose to get our picture taken. All they wanted was our account number and our date of birth. Also now the so-called application form has a next of kin column to fill out. I really wonder what they are thinking. Perhaps they thought the winner will die of a heart attack knowing that he or she had won a lottery that they had never bought.
Anyway we played along and gave him; the so-called agent all types of bull, for example D.O.B is 29th February 1978 etc. They got the message after a few calls. Wasn’t very happy with us though. Well, two can play at the same game.
July 30th, 2007 at 3:09 pm
Hi, I have also received a very similar letter today. The name of Dr. Rafael Manuelo is the same but the signature is by Donald Fernandez, the Vicepresident of the Lottery Award Board!!!! Also the address is different, not in Barcelona anymore but in Madrid. There are 2 of them. One is; Romano No. 19, planta 5. 28011 in Madrid and the other, with the Alcance Financiero S.L. letter, is; 21 Planta Andalucia 2a, 18905, also in Madrid. I did not get an e-mail, but a letter instead with my correct address on the envelope. Nevertheless, I decided to check it out on internet as it was too good to be true. Thanks to the sender of the original letter in 2004 !!!! if I hadn’t seen it, I would probably have answer the scam. Ciao

weird, I just noticed that the sent date in my inbox clearly says Sept 6th but it was technically received Sept 5th early afternoon.
hmm..
September 25th, 2007 at 12:36 am
I also just recieved the famous letter from Spain telling me that I won money but it is from Loteria Primitiva. The address is Romano No 19 Planta 5, 28011 Madrid, Spain It has the same information like all of the other people who have written. I also have the second page asking for my bank account and branch number. They also ask for the next of kin. Boy I wonder what they need that for. Hope this helps someone.
September 26th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Hi! I just received a letter like this by post today. As I have been in the past months in Spain I tought it was real….for about 5 seconds:))))
The first thing i did was search the net and found you. Iwas sure it is a scam, but this website really confirmed it. The funny thing is the ones that have sent it also asked in the so called “Payment processing form ” for the banck account number and the swift code:))) like I would be that stupid to really send it to them.
Though something does seem odd to me:they knew my exact adress(moved a year ago to a new flat) and my new name(i just got married) .
Anyways…thank you guys for being here!
September 26th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
I forgot to say I’m from Romania.
Take care!
October 11th, 2007 at 9:49 pm
WOW I just got the letter too!!! But I shouldn’t be telling you guys becaused they told me to keep it confidential for my safe…hahahaha. I knew this was a Scam!!
October 11th, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Hi!
I got this in my mailbox!! as a real letter pretty darn nice i will say, But hey
Scam is a Scam, just wanted to see if anyone else has got this as “papermail”
Take Care, Bye bye then!
Cheers!
October 12th, 2007 at 1:49 pm

October 16th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
Hey all,
U never know Ur luck do you…So like everyone else here, I dediced to check it out online first and found this site. In the email to me it’s the same as above, no bank details required, so I presume they ask for that in later correspondence? Any hoo, cheating, scamming, scumbags is what I have to say about them, even worse tho was the one I received last week from a Nigerian who lost her husband, will in probate and wants to forward the money to me to help fund a christian childrens home - sick.
Cheers for the info and lets hope some fraud department can sort these diminuitive inadequates out.

Just got back from a holiday to Spain - I was pleased to have won a lottery which I had never entered !!!
Thought it was a scam, so I checked on line and lo and behold, here I am.
During my time in Spain, nowhere did I leave my e-mail address, except in Madrid at the Tourist Information Office at Plaza Mayor, when I used their internet access to book a hotel for the night.
The e-mail is very similar to the one posted by Angel above over a month ago - even the same claim agent name - just the address is different, and the e-mail address is no longer .es but now is .de
We hope with part of your winning, you will take part in our next
year Thirty Million Euros lnternational lottery.

I recieved this letter today,they basically ask for personal details, and at the most one’s bank account number, what big benefit do they get from it? My father has expired, the lottery has come in his name, and i dunt know whether he filled any in his life…checked this website, found out it was a scam after all, but what do they get from individual personal details of random people across the globe…this cant even serve a marketing purpose! Im confused.
November 3rd, 2007 at 12:19 am
Excellent they have made it all the way to New Zealand from Madrid, The closest I have been to Madrid is watching the wild hogs movie, Maybe the movie rental company sent my details???? LOL

I FOUND THIS ON THE http://WWW.LOTERIANACIONAL.COM WEBSITE:
Warning over fraud
Loteríanacional.com wants to alert the public about certain criminal groups, using the good name of the National Lottery, have swindled several people from around the world.
To commit fraud, delincuentes- of various nationalities begin contacting potential victim through an electronic communication which contained logos identical to those used by banks and agencies, and where he was reported to have won a substantial prize awarded by the official Spanish lottery.
It even uses the names of prestigious institutions such as Gordo, or the Primitive. Then, ask the victim to establish telephone contact with an “agent” who will be responsible for processing the payment of the prize. The “agent” requires the payment of a certain amount of money by way of bank charges, insurance, etc.. However, those offenders urged his victim to deposit the money order in one of the many who have bank accounts around the world presenting false identities. Once deposited the required amount, the “agent” disappears, leaving his victim not only with empty pockets, but also with broken dreams.
This kind of organization also misrepresents printed names and signatures applying the system of fraud from other countries (mainly Germany, Belgium, Holland, UK, South Africa and Switzerland) for defrauding Spanish or Latin American, although there have been similar scams in areas of Southeast Asia and the Pacific and the Americas.
We therefore recommend to the public to bear in mind that National Lottery is always free of taxes and / or charges. Be wary, therefore, of any agency that prompted some sort of advance payment in taxes with the promise of future delivery of a prize. It’s also important to know that in order to obtain any award from the Spanish lottery, it is imperative to have previously purchased a ticket lottery or betting. When you offer “rewards” that relate to the apparent Spanish lottery, and not pay any amount required to report to local authorities.

Stop misleading people ok! Why don’t you also state that there are genuine lotteries.I just won the same LOTERIA NACIONAL that you state is a scam,and I almost lost the money because of the misleading information you place on your website.There can be no fake if there is no real.
Always report on the positive and the negative,so that people can know exactly where they stand.
PS:I am sure you would not publish this because it is different from everyone talking about scams.Any way just sent it to see how unbiased you are.

It has happened before, and each and every time a “winner” has come forward to comment on my blog, it has been from an IP address belonging to Nigeria or some other west african country. Mauritius is a bit off, but still.
I have never stated that Loteria Nacional itself is a scam, but anyone stating that you can win money from it without first purchasing a lottery ticket is a fraudster.

Hi,
I am living in Spain and during the last four weeks my pc is overflooded with scams mostly coming from UK, I mailed all in copy to the Metropolincton Police, but never got any reply.
The names of Barclays and Clydesdal Banks are used too as well as a Scarlet Urgent Delivery Service.

January 5th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Thanks for useful info. I have just ‘WON’ £700,000 on the Loteria Nacional S.A. Supposedly this was the winning lottery ticket in the 2nd category. Letter was on good quality paper, mailed in Malaga, 03/01/08 with sticky address label and proper franked stamp. Headed Christmas Bonanza Golden Chance!! with colour photo top right hand corner.
Interestingly the letter was accompanied by a photocopy of the original winning ticket with the date of the draw 22nd Dec 2007; and a website address for further details http://www.cestas-de-navidad.net/sorteo-loteria-navidad . On checking the website this was indeed the winning ticket of
1 million euros BUT IN 2006! Clever stuff indeed as I was begining to feel it was the real thing!
Thanks for the site! Reassuring to know I’m not the only one!
January 6th, 2008 at 5:37 am

January 6th, 2008 at 11:41 am
There’s lots of them. They’re everywhere Susan.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Hello! I received a similar letter from an international lotto commission located at Plaza Romano No 19 Planta 5 28011 Madrid on January 7th. The text was even translated into poor German. Thanks to this very helpful information on this website which confirmed my doubts. I was also supposed to provide detailed information about my bank account etc. and they wanted me to pay a 5% commission to a company called “Globale Sicherheit Firma SA”.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I have had the letter too what a load of rubbish
I don’t understand what they do with your bank details though
Surely they can’t just take money from your account ????????
Nice dream for a short while though………
January 14th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Hello
Thank you guys so much for putting this up…I too received said letter, exactly as stated in all the previous remarks.
Thought is was to good to be true.
Thanks again….could have been fooled…
January 16th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
My girlfriend received one this morning in the post. Signed by a Don Francisco Anthony.
Highly suspicious - ssh, don’t tell anyone - yeah right, i’ve just won 980,000 euros and i’m gonna keep my gob shut! i don’t think so.
Anyway, great site! Glad your here to help.

January 16th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
I´m from Germany and I received a letter similar to the first one. This time it is supposed to be a Exite Seguros S.A. from Madrid involved. There is not such a company. On the head of the claimform there is a real existing company listed in small print (Catalana Occidente Group) this is a real insurance company with headoffice in Barcelona. The phone numbers are real, but the web site (www.exiteseguros.com)is not exsisting. A e-mail what I send to the given adress (email-exiteseguros@madrid.com) has not been returned as failed, so I presume someone got my mail. I ask them to send me a functional web adress. Our Police told me to destroy that letter because they can´t do anything. There must be a way to get this idiots,maybe someone knows how!
January 17th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Hello,
My husband received a similar letter today. So far these spams have been only thru emails.. now by snail mails also!
Well, as far as I am aware, they can benefit in 2 ways:
One, as in one of the above messages, they get some money upfront from us and then disappear.
The other is Identity theft, which is quite serious. Read about it in http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/consumers/about-identity-theft.html
January 19th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Hi ………….. I am so disappointed got the same leter but from Madrid and I only won £715,810.00!!! My first reaction was my Mum had bought me a ticket whilst on holiday in Spain (she goes quite regularly, and I woould have given her a share)
Any way left it in the hands of my mum for her to check it out and she found this website instantly.
So after reading all of the remarks left by everyone I decided to file it………. in the nearest bin!!!!!!!!!
So many thanks everyone I will not be failling for that scam. Can’t believe that nothing can be done about people like that who pray on unsuspecting people.
January 28th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Hey,
I think I can easily say I’m luckier that all of you! This is the second consecutive year I receive the same letter from Madrid and guess what? It always arrives around my birthday!! Reason why I almost fell for it last year (I thought…’it must be destiny or some kind of paranormal power in action!’) ahahahah. Plus half of my family lives in Spain! This year I decided to check online to make sure that I wasn’t the ‘chosen one’ (you don’t want to be too lucky in this life!) and found this great website.
So thanks to you all and ….
I sincerely wish you all the best of luck in everything you do!;)

My mother received a letter today from LOTERIA NACIONAL. Just from the context and appearance (simialr to previous El Gordo letters) I figured it was a scam and your site and others has confirmed it. I always wondered how you won a lottery without buying a ticket. She could use the money as she’s recently widowed and wasn’t sure if my father had bought a ticket previously - but a little research has shown it just more fraud. These people should be, as Dickens so graphically put it, “boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart”.
February 5th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I got an email in one of my more obsure accounts. I was shocked as it said I need to reply before 15 Jan and I didn’t see it before 5th Feb. I nearly rang them up to beg for an extension!
You have there been approved for a lump sum pay of €315,810.00 (THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND TEN EUROS ONLY)
That would have been nice!
February 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm

I have just recieved a letter notifying me that i won a lump sum of 615,810.00 euro and a form to fill and send it to them. No way they should find another way to earn money.How do they find our names and address. Your site has confirmed that it is a scum.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
I got a regular post correctly stamped envelope with the same kind of notification from Spain to Scotland, UK. I wonder how much they gain from naive people that they continue such procedure? There is no police action worldwide to stop this crime since at least 2004 - 4 years!!!
Tx for this website and all of you.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Zut alors! And there I was thinking we could leap frog onto the UK housing market with the €615,810 I’d apparently won on the “Euromilliones Lottery Promotion Program” …
On first read of the letter, which had a number of Spanish stamps and franking marks, I was excitedly racking my brain re what competitions I may have entered recently as I do love entering competitions (a secret vice!)…
I then read “remember 10% of your winnings belongs to ALCANCE FINANCIERO S.L. because they are the security company that bought your ticket and played the lottery on your name” and that’s when I realised this was yet another of those beep beep scams about which our anti-money laundering officer at work is forever warning us. A google search confirmed this
February 12th, 2008 at 3:10 am
I live in Australia and received a very elaborate letter (not e-mail, mind you) containing the same … good thing, I did not splurge immediately, but checked the internet first. I never thought I’ll feel sorry for being picked a ‘winner’. Nevertheless, thank you for validating that I am still a thinking person acting rightly.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Received similar letter dated 4-02-2008,won 815,810,00 euro’s. Feel something should have been done before now on these crooks. BIN the best place for the letter.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:34 am
If Loteria Nacional is a legitimate business entity, what are they doing in preventing these people from tarnishing their name?
February 14th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Hi, just got this letter myslef! my wife was so happy to have all that money for oursevles… it’s sad i had to tell her the truth. but thank you lotteria nacional for a lovely valentine’s day laugh!
February 15th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Same old rubbish by letter. This time “signed” by Carlos Santos. Post-mark Benalmadena 13.02.08. Agree the Loteria Nacional should investigate.
February 15th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
My mother just received one of these letters in the post. She has never been to spain and asked me to have a look at it as she thought it might be a scam.
I’m glad she asked me and didn’t act on it, to someone her age it’s an awful lot of money that would have made life easier, someone her age without family may have fallen for it, someone should lock these people up and throw away the keys!!!

Live in Sweden and received today by snailmail a letter from International lotto promotion that I won 615,810.00 euro. Yes, sweet deal, will never have to work again. Lol.
I really like that they kept “RE:winning notification” in the letter.
Lol, pros.

I got one of these today, dated 20th Feb 08 saying I had ‘won’ 426,887 Euros AND 11 cents!
You’d think these duck eggs would at least try and get their spelling & grammer right to make it even look worthwile.
Pity authorities don’t take a stronger view on morons like these.
